Thank goodness for blogging right now. My world is slightly falling apart at the the seams but there's literally no time to focus on it! Between reading all the delicious What I Ate Wednesday posts from yesterday, packing my life into boxes, and catching up on my favorite blogs, I'm too busy for tears. So thanks for being my escape right now. I love you guys more than veggies! <3
In other news, I totally found comfort in a jar today.
Not the typical jar of nut butter and overnight oats, but instead a jar of delicious green salsa.
This yummy jar of salsa was just about finished, but those last few spoonfuls were exactly what I needed to make a rockin' guacamole. Since eating your food out of a jar is all the rage lately, I took the idea and ran with it.
Guac in a jar? Don't mind if I do!
Simply mash an avocado or two into an almost empty jar of salsa, season [garlic powder-onion powder-salt-cayenne pepper-lime juice], stir, and spoon onto chips or veggies for a delicious [and portable!] snack.
Bonus points if you sneak in some diced roma tomato. SO GOOD!

Holy Guacamole, that looks good!!! I hope your day is great = )
This is my parents' go-to guac recipe, whenever I'm home they bust open a half empty jar of salsa and mash in the avocado! I could do this about every day with the amount of salsa I eat :) hang in there Jenn!
Good idea! That's how I make my "lazy guacamole" sort -of. I pour trader joe's red and green salsas on avocado, add garlic and mash. But this is far less messy!
I love eating out of jars! My family always buys avocados and never ends up eating them, so I may have to whip up a batch of guac today :)
People look at me funny when I sit on the bus eating Mrs. Renfro's ghost pepper salsa right out of the jar. Maybe it's because 1) I'm sitting ON the bus rather than IN it, and 2) I frequently yell, "RAARRR, I'M A DRAGON!"
This is one of many reasons I'm going to die single and unloved.
even when you're uber busy? you're crafty. I love it. I love guac. I love Renfro's. I love you! glad you're taking blog breaks to keep sane - wish I could come help you pack. <3 pessa
Guac in a jar! Love it! You deserve the rockstar status for starting such a blogworld phenomenon :) Good luck with errything, I'm in a similar position

Guacamole in a jar?! Such a simple, yet genius idea. I love it :-)
I hope everything's okay love <3 thinking of you and loving your WIAW. My stomach is grumbling as I type this... :)
Good luck with everything! I know how it feels to be completely overwhelmed. I'm there right now too, sort of running on auto-pilot. Just remember, everything is temporary.
Pretty, pretty guacamole. I'd love to paint a room that colour! And every post of yours that I read, I think to myself "I really love her...". Ha!
That looks amazeballz and a half.
Good luck with the packing!
awww thanks Stephanie! Heart you so flipping much! mwah!
Oh it was! I'm sad its gone... time to plow through more salsa and make more! =)
Yes! Mrs. Renfro's saves my life on a daily basis. The Pomegranate Salsa...oh my GOLL! [And of course, it's made in Texas, so gotta love that...]
Mmm... sounds tasty!
Ahhh, so sorry that you are super overwhelmed, Jenn! Love you...and your amazing guac creations!
how about you send some of that guac in a jar my way? k thanks!
Sorry to hear your having a crazy time of it petal, hope things get sorted soon, but yay for blogging keeping us all sane ;-)
genius! salsa, like nut butters, is something that can and should be consumed everyday and the most frustrating part about it is those last delicious little chunks you just can't get out! Thank you so much for solving this life-long quandry of mine!
You're a genius.
Great idea! Sorry life is so crazy right now. =( Hang in there! Love ya!
LOVE Guacamole! that looks good awesome! i will have to try it soon
I am so behind on my blog stalking... are you ok Jen?? Moving is just total craziness! But it will be so worth it when you're all settled into your beautiful home :) Until then.. I'll be sending lots of hugs your way :)
what a great idea!
BOOKMARKING.
Girl, Huuuuuuuuuuuug. It will all work out!!! You are packing to move into your new home and that is ah-mazing sauce. Love you lady.
Mmm... I love guacamole! I need this!!!
Hoe, did I miss this? Haha! I mean, HOW did I miss this?! I love you girl! Guac in a jar...genius! Of course when the guac is ALMOST gone, you can hand over the jar to me (since you're not an oat lover) and I will have a pretty rocking savory OIAJ! ;)
Love you and you know I'm always here for you! Biiiiiiiiig hugs and veggie kisses! ;)
